Feedburner Adds Twitter feature

RSS to twitter is a very useful feature. Up until now I have been using the HootSuite twitter application to do this for me, but not Google have added this directly into their feedburner application, thus reducing one step from setting up a new site’s feed.

Tweeting your RSS feed is a good idea for letting people know you have a new post up, and hopefully you might get a few re-tweets out there which will lead to a few new visitors. As always though, make sure the RSS feed is relevant to the people who subscribe to that particular twitter account!
